Any problems due to bad weather?

BT - just when you thought it was safe to go back onto the internet.

Bill · Sep 15, 2010, 12:43:37

I'd intended to go out today and have a look around the SS Great Britain in Bristol, but I overslept.

It must be fate, just think- I might have missed all this fun

Rik · Sep 15, 2010, 12:47:43

I see some of the usual suspects are coming out of the woodwork, Bill.

Ray · Sep 15, 2010, 13:09:35

Somebody seems to have kicked something now, my speed is back up to 6Mbps now

esh · Sep 15, 2010, 13:12:13

It's just all those packets you lost all turning up!

Bill · Sep 15, 2010, 13:12:32

Yup, mine are getting better and the packet loss has (pretty much) stopped

Rik · Sep 15, 2010, 13:16:06

Same here. BT have re-started the BRAS.

pctech · Sep 15, 2010, 13:19:58

They've restarted that same BRAS again?

Rik · Sep 15, 2010, 13:20:13

Indeed.

Bill · Sep 15, 2010, 13:23:23

Managed to get another speedtest to run-

34970Kbps down, 7912Kbps up.

That's more like it

Until the next time...

Rik · Sep 15, 2010, 13:24:04

What is it with the Stepney BRAS?

Bill · Sep 15, 2010, 13:28:13

According to Wiki:

QuoteStepney is an inner-city area in the East End of London that grew out of a medieval village

It's probably still got the original equipment

snadge · Sep 15, 2010, 13:33:47

all back to norm here at Scotland...

thanks

this is what I call 'service' when ur able to find out up to the minute news about the REAL problem at hand

thnx again Rik + all

pctech · Sep 15, 2010, 13:45:19

Just checked in on my router remotely, lost about 35Kbps, was 2912 and now 2880.

Grrr

klipp · Sep 15, 2010, 13:53:37

I lost sync momentarily about an hour ago, is this likely to be related? Seems I resynced at the same speed as before so no harm done.

psp83 · Sep 15, 2010, 13:55:48

100% packet lose at 4am

Bill · Sep 15, 2010, 14:01:08

Happens occasionally.

Loss of PPP when BT take something out to mess about with it.

pctech · Sep 15, 2010, 14:07:49

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

esh · Sep 15, 2010, 15:00:33

You lost 35kbps? Peanuts! I lost 600 the other day!

Packet loss has cleared up here as others mentioned.

pctech · Sep 15, 2010, 15:18:10

I'm at work at the min so cant test how my connection is working.

BT version: If it ain't broke, disconnect it to find out why.

Lance · Sep 15, 2010, 16:45:43

Hang on, you're assuming there is actually a bit of BT equipment which isn't broke?

Rik · Sep 15, 2010, 17:07:12

esh · Sep 15, 2010, 17:22:24

Any of BT's stuff that isn't broke is so old it needs upgrading, or is so old that it is broke... or is broke because they upgraded it because it was so old.. argh, my head.

Rik · Sep 15, 2010, 17:24:19

Quick, fetch a bucket of cold water, esh is beginning to smoulder.
